A round that has been proven countless times on the battlefield over the past 50+ years, this is the best bargain on premium quality shooting ammunition for the AK and SKS platforms and other guns that use the 7.62x39 round. The Brown Bear line is a production of ammunition that is made to mimic the military surplus ammunition that became wildly popular in the 1980’s and 1990’s as a result of the cheap availability of the Eastern Blok and Russian surplus stores. The round by Brown bear is even better though, with the non-corrosive buildout and the excellent soft point projectile in 125 grain weight.

This ammunition is not reloadable however with the Berdan priming and the steel case making it really tough to economically reload. That’s OK though, given the exceptional price of entry and the very good other production attributes, like the reliability of the primers which is second to none and the polymer coated steel casings which despite all the bad press steel casings got years ago, functions flawlessly in the guns that shoot it. The price allows you to shoot a ton for not a lot of cash.

I was involved in an experiment to discover the best "Bargain" soft point in 7.62x39. The Brown Bear won hands down. This round, for all intents and purposes, blew the heart out of a white tailed doe at 50 yards. Our tests revealed another surprising characteristic: it penetrated thick steel BETTER than the FMJ ammo we were testing even though it was a soft point. Although it was unscientific, we concluded this round was superior to all others tested in the military surplus category. As a result, it is the only round carried by those of us who choose this caliber as our daily carry rifle. 2 inch groups at 100 yards with Bulgarian AK. (Posted on 11/14/14)
